Deviled Eggs

I was inspired early in the morning to write two different stories based on this title. The other can be found here.

Deviled Eggs

Title by Ashely Schaaf Botha

The potluck at the VFW was already filling up by the time Ann arrived. Kids were chasing each other outside and a few adults were clustered in small groups, chatting away. Ann grabbed a big covered plastic tub out of the back seat of her car as Mac came over to help.

“These your deviled eggs, Annie?” he said.

“You bet, Mac. Go ahead and grab some of that Tupperware and take it inside.” Ann hadn’t owned an actual piece of Tupperware in years, but every plastic container was called that by most people in these parts.

Mac helped carry in the eggs and as a reward was given an advance egg that he could not resist.

“Best deviled eggs around, as usual.” Mac smiled as he finished chewing up his treat.

Sunflower Print From Jin Wicked

Newly acquired art from the talented Jin Wicked! Check out her Etsy story here.

I was planning on snatching up a print of  her work “FLIGHT” but grabbed one of these first because she only had a few left. Someday it will be mine, though. (Or if I get real lucky I will be able to get the original, but funds are… lacking)

Is This Us? Are We Here? Comedy Tour?

Shoved my way through the borderline agoraphobia and went to see some comedy in Huron, SD at the Square Deal Grocery. Thanks to everybody that put on the show, especially Dan Bublitz. If you get a chance to see Carly Ballerini and Whitney Chitwood… DO  IT. I laughed. A bunch.

TOUR DATES:

Back of my fat head! (front row on the left) Yeah, ok, Carly performing is the important part.

Disappointment

SQUID!

The Devil and the Details

 

Hank Dobson paced back and forth in the living room of his trailer house, taking nervous drags off his cigarette. Due the modest size of the house and the stacks of boxes, he made many turns in little time. The sixty two years of life etched deep in a face that flashed irritation and sometimes near panic. His hands were in constant motion along with the shaking of his head.

The Quilt and the Cairn

The Quilt and the Cairn

Edna closed her eyes and turned her face toward the midmorning sun.  The early summer warmth of the South Dakota prairie was so different from the last time she had been here.  “So very different,” she said to herself in a whisper.  Her eyes opened and saw bright greens and vivid blue, not the flat browns and gray skies of her memory.  The smells of new life and road dust filtered in the small gap of the car window.  Such another contrast.  She closed her eyes again and could smell the frozen earth and feel the bone aching chill of the north wind of almost eighty years ago.  Tears began to well up as she again looked out at the passing landscape.
